WEBVTT 00:00:00.430 --> 00:00:02.450 This is going to be another one of those days 00:00:02.450 --> 00:00:08.289 when we're going to get right into the Word of 00:00:08.289 --> 00:00:15.490 God. You always know when there's no music, no 00:00:15.490 --> 00:00:19.989 singing, it's one of those important days when 00:00:19.989 --> 00:00:24.929 we do a little digging way down deep underneath 00:00:24.929 --> 00:00:28.559 the surface. Somebody says, oh. Good. Wait till 00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:32.560 I get my Bible. All right. You should have had 00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:37.420 it out before I came into your house today. There 00:00:37.420 --> 00:00:42.200 it is. You had it handy. Good. And be sure that 00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:45.560 you have your pencil and little notebook there 00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:47.759 because when your husband comes home from work 00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:51.000 tonight, he'll say, well, now, Annie, what did 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:55.219 Miss Cooman say today? And the first thing that 00:00:55.219 --> 00:01:00.289 you... is the Scripture, the Word of God that 00:01:00.289 --> 00:01:04.170 I give to you, because nothing that I can say 00:01:04.170 --> 00:01:09.650 will be as important as the Word of God. When 00:01:09.650 --> 00:01:13.950 I left you in our heart -to -heart talk regarding 00:01:13.950 --> 00:01:23.349 the preservations of God's people, Israel, and 00:01:23.349 --> 00:01:26.730 remember, Please never forget whenever I talk 00:01:26.730 --> 00:01:32.030 about Israel and I talk about the seed of Abraham. 00:01:34.069 --> 00:01:40.430 These were earthly people. And every covenant 00:01:40.430 --> 00:01:45.030 and every promise that God made to Abraham and 00:01:45.030 --> 00:01:50.329 to the seed of Abraham are all earthly promises 00:01:50.329 --> 00:01:57.819 and earthly covenants. The seed of Abraham must 00:01:57.819 --> 00:02:04.480 accept Jesus Christ as the true Messiah. He must 00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:09.000 be born again if he is to enter into the kingdom 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:13.680 of heaven. When it comes to salvation, there 00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:19.800 is no such thing as nationality. I want to repeat 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:25.699 that. For those who feel that because they may 00:02:25.699 --> 00:02:31.280 be from the seed of Abraham, because they are 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:35.919 Jewish, they have a very spatial place in the 00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:42.259 sight of God, that they do not need to be born 00:02:42.259 --> 00:02:46.580 again as Gentiles. Oh, yes. When it comes to 00:02:46.580 --> 00:02:48.539 entering the kingdom of heaven, when it comes 00:02:48.539 --> 00:02:52.389 to entering heaven, when it comes to being an 00:02:52.389 --> 00:02:54.310 heir of God, a joint heir with Christ Jesus, 00:02:54.530 --> 00:03:00.110 there must be that new birth experience for each 00:03:00.110 --> 00:03:05.750 individual. All right, now we're ready. The miracle, 00:03:05.870 --> 00:03:11.330 and I mean exactly that, and I use that word 00:03:11.330 --> 00:03:17.210 advisedly, the miracle of the preservation of 00:03:17.210 --> 00:03:22.270 the children of Israel. throughout past generations, 00:03:22.870 --> 00:03:29.930 all through their persecution, all through their 00:03:29.930 --> 00:03:36.110 past history, is absolute proof that God will 00:03:36.110 --> 00:03:41.069 certainly fulfill all the promises that he made 00:03:41.069 --> 00:03:44.830 to them for the future. And it's just like that. 00:03:45.310 --> 00:03:49.229 I cannot take the time. to review anything that 00:03:49.229 --> 00:03:53.069 I said in a little heart -to -heart talk yesterday. 00:03:53.330 --> 00:03:56.090 But let me just remind you again, as you look 00:03:56.090 --> 00:03:59.530 back into Jewish history, you take the Red Sea, 00:03:59.710 --> 00:04:04.270 when with just one master stroke, God completely 00:04:04.270 --> 00:04:08.930 destroyed an enemy's nation and brought Israel 00:04:08.930 --> 00:04:12.409 through victoriously. You take the River Jordan. 00:04:13.020 --> 00:04:15.680 The waters that were parted so the Israelites 00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:19.959 could enter into the land. Go on back through 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:25.860 history, way back to the time when God literally 00:04:25.860 --> 00:04:29.600 caused the sun to stand still for almost an entire 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:38.420 day until the enemy had been defeated. But go 00:04:38.420 --> 00:04:46.110 back also. to Israel's suffering, their sorrow, 00:04:46.470 --> 00:04:51.110 their persecution because of their disobedience 00:04:51.110 --> 00:04:56.110 unto the Lord. And it all started and God's blessing 00:04:56.110 --> 00:05:04.949 lifted when they cried, His blood be upon us 00:05:04.949 --> 00:05:12.569 and on our children. Literally, Thousands upon 00:05:12.569 --> 00:05:22.569 thousands of Jews have been killed. March. No 00:05:22.569 --> 00:05:29.670 people have been so hated throughout the world 00:05:29.670 --> 00:05:36.649 as scattered people. Literally millions have 00:05:36.649 --> 00:05:44.579 been killed. Take Jewish history. We speak of 00:05:44.579 --> 00:05:53.360 Hitler. Oh, the hatred. When he tried to, through 00:05:53.360 --> 00:06:03.120 his regime, destroy the Jewish people. He thought, 00:06:03.220 --> 00:06:07.680 I believe that Hitler thought, that he could 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:11.240 wipe... out the Jews from off the face of the 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:16.540 earth. And he set out as a one man's army to 00:06:16.540 --> 00:06:21.000 do just exactly that. But he didn't reckon with 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:28.579 God. God had a plan for Abraham and the seed 00:06:28.579 --> 00:06:32.839 of Abraham. And God never changes his mind. God 00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:37.800 never changes his plans. He has a perfect timetable. 00:06:38.110 --> 00:06:42.810 He's never too late. He's never too soon. It 00:06:42.810 --> 00:06:45.470 works according to schedule. And whenever he 00:06:45.470 --> 00:06:49.689 has made a promise or a covenant, he keeps that 00:06:49.689 --> 00:06:53.009 word and he keeps that covenant to the crossing 00:06:53.009 --> 00:06:57.310 of every T and the dotting of every I. Suddenly, 00:06:59.230 --> 00:07:05.689 things began to turn for the Jewish people. And 00:07:05.689 --> 00:07:09.569 that's where I left you in our last heart -to 00:07:09.569 --> 00:07:15.550 -heart talk. In 1753, the tide began to turn 00:07:15.550 --> 00:07:18.870 when England passed a bill which provided a haven 00:07:18.870 --> 00:07:28.230 for many, many Jews. And then in 1776, we were 00:07:28.230 --> 00:07:36.519 only a small nation. So tiny. But when America 00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:40.180 declared its independence, it became the greatest 00:07:40.180 --> 00:07:46.240 of all the havens for the Jews. Something is 00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:50.480 going to happen, how do I know? Because, my friend, 00:07:50.660 --> 00:07:55.300 in that little book of Amos, not often do you 00:07:55.300 --> 00:07:58.259 hear a minister quote from the book of Amos, 00:07:58.379 --> 00:08:02.379 but there's something very important in it. It's 00:08:02.379 --> 00:08:06.740 God's word. The ninth chapter of Amos and the 00:08:06.740 --> 00:08:16.199 last two verses. If only Hitler had read those 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:22.420 two verses, he would have known that he could 00:08:22.420 --> 00:08:31.819 not do away with the two. They would still rise 00:08:31.819 --> 00:08:39.740 again. because God would set so. I read, I will 00:08:39.740 --> 00:08:44.000 bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, 00:08:44.179 --> 00:08:47.720 and they shall build away cities and inhabit 00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:52.120 them. They shall plant vineyards and drink the 00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:56.539 wine thereof. They shall also make gardens and 00:08:56.539 --> 00:09:03.039 eat the fruit of them. How impossible this all 00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:08.960 seemed during the persecution of the Jews. For 00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:15.399 centuries, how absolutely fantastic this seemed. 00:09:15.820 --> 00:09:22.559 It was impossible. And yet God said so. I continue, 00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:27.299 and I will plant them upon their land, and they 00:09:27.299 --> 00:09:31.159 shall no more be pulled up. out of their land, 00:09:31.340 --> 00:09:39.340 which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God. 00:09:39.700 --> 00:09:43.139 Sometimes, you know, I think it would be the 00:09:43.139 --> 00:09:45.679 best thing in the world if world leaders would 00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:52.000 begin reading the Bible. I think it'd be marvelous 00:09:52.000 --> 00:10:03.830 if sometimes we could just called a little recess 00:10:03.830 --> 00:10:08.590 in the United Nations and say, now, gentlemen, 00:10:08.769 --> 00:10:14.889 let's go to the Word of God and see what the 00:10:14.889 --> 00:10:19.450 Word of God says about this thing. I think that 00:10:19.450 --> 00:10:23.190 our world leaders would deal with things more 00:10:23.190 --> 00:10:27.549 intelligently than perhaps they are dealing. 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:32.179 or will continue to deal because God is still 00:10:32.179 --> 00:10:38.080 there. And this very hour, he has hooks, literally 00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:43.559 hooks in the jaws of the nation. And in spite 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:50.120 of Israel's persecution, in spite of her past 00:10:50.120 --> 00:11:01.830 history, God says, restore Israel to her full 00:11:01.830 --> 00:11:08.370 blessing. I will plant them upon their land, 00:11:08.529 --> 00:11:12.409 and they shall no more be pulled up out of their 00:11:12.409 --> 00:11:17.029 land, which I have given them, saith the Lord 00:11:17.029 --> 00:11:24.809 thy God. If Hitler had only known the word of 00:11:24.809 --> 00:11:29.000 God. If nations in the past had only known God's 00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:33.559 word, they would have known that in the future 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:39.799 there would be a time of regathering. All right, 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.639 now here is something that's thrilling. You see, 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:49.000 I never use just the Old Testament without the 00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:52.120 New, neither the New Testament without the Old. 00:11:52.220 --> 00:11:55.279 Never. That's the reason those of you who have 00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:57.799 been following my ministry for years know that 00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:02.080 I have said repeatedly that the Bible is a whole 00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:05.080 book. You can't say, I'll just accept what's 00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:07.600 in the Old Testament. I'll not accept what's 00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:10.700 in the New. I'll just take the Old. You can't 00:12:10.700 --> 00:12:13.419 understand the Old without accepting the New. 00:12:13.620 --> 00:12:17.240 The New opens the Old. The Old Testament opens 00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:27.120 the New Testament. It is all the very Word of 00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:31.919 God, and the Holy Spirit has been its author. 00:12:32.259 --> 00:12:34.879 Well, the Old and New Testament have the same 00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:40.220 author. It's still all of God's Word. All right, 00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:43.840 now here we're coming to something that's most 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:49.120 interesting. Turn to the New Testament, the 24th 00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:52.690 chapter of Matthew. I'm turning to it right now, 00:12:52.710 --> 00:12:58.809 and you would smile if you could see my poor 00:12:58.809 --> 00:13:05.830 Bible. Part of the 24th chapter is no longer 00:13:05.830 --> 00:13:11.289 there because I've worn it out. It's in shreds. 00:13:11.330 --> 00:13:14.850 I've read it so often. I've used it so often. 00:13:16.169 --> 00:13:20.269 I'm going to read it to you. I know it from memory. 00:13:20.750 --> 00:13:24.669 I've quoted it that often, all right? It's the 00:13:24.669 --> 00:13:27.970 24th chapter of Matthew. Begin, if you will, 00:13:27.990 --> 00:13:32.509 please, with the 32nd verse. And it's Jesus speaking. 00:13:32.830 --> 00:13:37.350 It's a parable. Now learn a parable of the fig 00:13:37.350 --> 00:13:43.210 tree. When his branch is yet tender, put forth 00:13:43.210 --> 00:13:47.649 leaves, ye know that summer is nigh. So likewise 00:13:47.649 --> 00:13:52.159 ye... When ye shall see all these things, know 00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:58.379 that it is near, even at the very door. The disciples 00:13:58.379 --> 00:14:01.740 had just asked Jesus a most important question. 00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:07.740 They were sitting on the Mount of Olives, and 00:14:07.740 --> 00:14:10.899 the disciples were there. They were having a 00:14:10.899 --> 00:14:13.139 heart -to -heart talk, just like we're having 00:14:13.139 --> 00:14:19.850 now. The outside world was not there. They were 00:14:19.850 --> 00:14:24.250 talking in confidence. And they came unto Jesus 00:14:24.250 --> 00:14:28.669 and asked him this question. Tell us, when shall 00:14:28.669 --> 00:14:33.370 these things be? And what shall be the sign of 00:14:33.370 --> 00:14:40.409 thy coming and the end of the world? Now, there 00:14:40.409 --> 00:14:43.350 will never be an end of the world, but Jesus 00:14:43.350 --> 00:14:46.940 did not rebuke them for using The phrase, the 00:14:46.940 --> 00:14:53.019 end of the world. He knew that they were asking 00:14:53.019 --> 00:14:56.519 ignorance. He didn't rebuke them. There will 00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:01.659 always be the world. Tell us, when shall these 00:15:01.659 --> 00:15:04.860 things be? And what shall be the sign of thy 00:15:04.860 --> 00:15:09.039 coming and of the end of the world? And Jesus 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:14.279 answered, in a parable, learn a... parable of 00:15:14.279 --> 00:15:19.360 the fig tree. That's his answer. When his branch 00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:23.100 is yet tender and put forth leaves, ye know that 00:15:23.100 --> 00:15:27.679 summer is nigh. And so likewise ye, when ye shall 00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:31.100 see all these things, know that it is near. How 00:15:31.100 --> 00:15:39.519 near? Even at the doors. And when somebody is 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:44.309 standing at your door, he's practically in. All 00:15:44.309 --> 00:15:47.549 that has to be done is to open the door and that 00:15:47.549 --> 00:15:56.049 one steps in, even at the doors. Then he follows 00:15:56.049 --> 00:15:59.070 with the word verily, and whenever he uses the 00:15:59.070 --> 00:16:01.870 word verily, it's something that's most important. 00:16:02.210 --> 00:16:05.490 Verily I say unto you, this generation shall 00:16:05.490 --> 00:16:10.830 not pass away. Till all these things be fulfilled. 00:16:10.889 --> 00:16:16.429 What generation? The generation that is living 00:16:16.429 --> 00:16:26.370 when the fig tree begins to put on leaves. Let's 00:16:26.370 --> 00:16:32.909 take this thing of the fig tree, my friend. Israel 00:16:32.909 --> 00:16:40.720 is likened unto a big tree. I'm very frank to 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:43.740 tell you that what we're going to talk about 00:16:43.740 --> 00:16:50.120 from this point on to my own heart is one of 00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:52.159 the most thrilling, the most precious things 00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:58.820 that I have brought to you for a long time. I 00:16:58.820 --> 00:17:01.559 think it's one of the most enlightening portions 00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:04.539 of the Word of God. You may have known for a 00:17:04.539 --> 00:17:07.240 long time that Israel and the Word of God is 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:10.779 likened to a fig tree, but you've never gone 00:17:10.779 --> 00:17:16.180 into it very deeply. So let us examine another 00:17:16.180 --> 00:17:19.319 passage of Scripture which confirms that the 00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:26.920 fig tree is symbolic of Israel. I never use the 00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:29.779 Old Testament without the New, the New without 00:17:29.779 --> 00:17:34.289 the Old. Now, Is there any other place in the 00:17:34.289 --> 00:17:38.490 Bible where Israel is likened unto a fig tree? 00:17:38.569 --> 00:17:44.430 Sure. Go to Jeremiah. Oh, I'm so glad you got 00:17:44.430 --> 00:17:48.829 your Bibles out today. Read the whole chapter. 00:17:49.470 --> 00:17:57.009 The 24th chapter of Jeremiah. Oh, let's begin 00:17:57.009 --> 00:18:02.529 with the second verse. I won't have time to read 00:18:02.529 --> 00:18:05.650 it all. You read it. Read it to your husband 00:18:05.650 --> 00:18:07.710 when he comes home tonight. Study it. It's wonderful. 00:18:08.509 --> 00:18:13.569 And study it along with the 24th chapter of Matthew. 00:18:14.289 --> 00:18:19.509 The Lord showed me, and behold, two baskets of 00:18:19.509 --> 00:18:24.809 figs were set before the temple of the Lord. 00:18:25.650 --> 00:18:31.299 There were two baskets. One basket had very good 00:18:31.299 --> 00:18:35.640 figs, even like the figs that were first ripe. 00:18:36.019 --> 00:18:40.559 And the other basket had very naughty figs, which 00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:44.359 could not be eaten. They were so bad. Can't you 00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:48.859 just see these two baskets of figs? One basket 00:18:48.859 --> 00:18:53.680 had very good figs, even like the figs that were 00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:57.990 first ripe. And the other basket... had very 00:18:57.990 --> 00:19:02.210 naughty figs, which could not be eaten. They 00:19:02.210 --> 00:19:05.970 were so bad. Then said the Lord unto me, What 00:19:05.970 --> 00:19:12.609 seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs. The good 00:19:12.609 --> 00:19:19.470 figs. Very good. Oh, I tell you the psychology 00:19:19.470 --> 00:19:23.750 of this. I have never studied psychology in my 00:19:23.750 --> 00:19:26.940 life. I have never read a book on psychology 00:19:26.940 --> 00:19:31.180 in my life. I have never studied psychology in 00:19:31.180 --> 00:19:37.079 my life. All you have to do is to read the Word 00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:41.740 of God and see how the Holy Spirit deals and 00:19:41.740 --> 00:19:47.940 how the Lord deals with human beings. He always 00:19:47.940 --> 00:19:53.099 gives you the blessed, the good first. Always. 00:19:54.059 --> 00:19:58.980 He always deals with the positive. Take the first 00:19:58.980 --> 00:20:01.500 psalm, read it. Blessed, the blessed man. And 00:20:01.500 --> 00:20:04.220 then after he's given you a picture of the blessed 00:20:04.220 --> 00:20:07.700 man, then he turns and he rebukes the sinner 00:20:07.700 --> 00:20:14.099 and gives condemnation. Therefore, he shows the 00:20:14.099 --> 00:20:19.259 good figs first. I said figs, the good figs, 00:20:19.259 --> 00:20:22.720 Jeremiah said. Very good. And the evil, very 00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:26.019 evil. that cannot be eaten. They are so evil. 00:20:26.619 --> 00:20:28.920 Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:33.500 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, Like 00:20:33.500 --> 00:20:37.160 these good things, so will I acknowledge them 00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:40.460 that are carried away captive Judah, whom I have 00:20:40.460 --> 00:20:43.579 sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans 00:20:43.579 --> 00:20:47.000 for their good. For I will set mine eyes upon 00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:51.180 them for good. I will bring them again to this 00:20:51.180 --> 00:20:55.039 land. I will build them. I'll not pull them down. 00:20:55.259 --> 00:20:58.160 Oh, remember that scripture in the ninth chapter 00:20:58.160 --> 00:21:01.460 of Amos, the 14th and 15th verses? He's saying 00:21:01.460 --> 00:21:06.039 the same thing. I will bring them unto this land. 00:21:06.220 --> 00:21:08.619 I will build them. I will not pull them down. 00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:12.839 I will plant them and not pluck them up. I will 00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:17.099 give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord, 00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:20.529 and they shall be my people. I will be their 00:21:20.529 --> 00:21:27.170 god, for they shall return unto me with their 00:21:27.170 --> 00:21:38.190 whole hearts. The sign of the figs. The basket 00:21:38.190 --> 00:21:47.309 of good figs. Very good. Even like the figs that 00:21:47.309 --> 00:21:54.579 were first Right. The restoration of Israel. 00:21:55.759 --> 00:22:04.380 Uh -huh. Restored again as a nation. Uh -huh. 00:22:04.380 --> 00:22:13.559 Yeah. I will be their God and they shall return 00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:21.859 unto me with their whole heart. Even as they 00:22:21.859 --> 00:22:28.440 loved the Lord God with their hearts, when God 00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:34.000 parted the Red Sea and made those waves stand 00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:38.359 back as mold and glass and with one master's 00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:45.440 stroke, the enemy's army was destroyed completely. 00:22:47.369 --> 00:22:53.049 They shall love me with their whole hearts. They 00:22:53.049 --> 00:22:56.069 shall follow me in complete obedience even as 00:22:56.069 --> 00:23:00.789 they followed me when I blessed them and caused 00:23:00.789 --> 00:23:05.230 the sun to stand still for nearly an entire day 00:23:05.230 --> 00:23:12.650 until their enemy was defeated. But it shall 00:23:12.650 --> 00:23:18.819 be different now. It is impossible for them to 00:23:18.819 --> 00:23:24.400 love me with their whole hearts until, first 00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:33.240 of all, they accept my son, Jesus Christ, as 00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:40.319 their true Messiah. It's different. They cannot 00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:45.000 accept me wholeheartedly without accepting my 00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:52.150 son. son, Jesus, the true Messiah, and acknowledge 00:23:52.150 --> 00:23:58.349 him an earthly people, an earthly nation, the 00:23:58.349 --> 00:24:03.930 very seed of Abraham and of Isaac. They must 00:24:03.930 --> 00:24:12.269 accept the Messiah, accept the fact that he is 00:24:12.269 --> 00:24:19.359 all that he is. He said that he was. And they 00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:26.160 couldn't do it. God's word said so. I will give 00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:35.400 them an heart to know me. You know, you can't 00:24:35.400 --> 00:24:40.559 accept Jesus Christ with just sheer head knowledge. 00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:47.690 No, uh -uh. You can't. That is what is wrong 00:24:47.690 --> 00:24:53.849 with religion today. It's head knowledge. It's 00:24:53.849 --> 00:25:02.269 intellectual. You don't. Some people have their 00:25:02.269 --> 00:25:08.990 minds crammed with religion. It doesn't mean 00:25:08.990 --> 00:25:16.109 a thing. To accept Jesus Christ, the son of the 00:25:16.109 --> 00:25:21.789 living God, as the true Messiah. Accept him in 00:25:21.789 --> 00:25:26.150 the position that he is this very hour. The great 00:25:26.150 --> 00:25:30.029 mediator, the great high priest. This wonderful 00:25:30.029 --> 00:25:37.349 experience is a heart transaction. A heart matter. 00:25:38.470 --> 00:25:44.789 I will give them an... not a mind to know me, 00:25:44.890 --> 00:25:51.009 but a heart to know me, that I am the Lord, and 00:25:51.009 --> 00:25:53.710 they shall be my people. I will be their God, 00:25:53.849 --> 00:26:00.170 for they shall return unto me with their whole 00:26:00.170 --> 00:26:08.269 heart. That is future, but God will keep his 00:26:08.269 --> 00:26:10.210 word. Amen.
